This is not a joke. More than five years ago I divested the last of my
comic books and they included a lot of Silver Age #1s including one in
particular fetching north of $50K. For all the books I sent to CGC to
get slabbed, I was repeatedly asked by potential buyers NOT ONLY ABOUT
each book's numerical grade, e.g., "9.2, 9.4, 9.6 and so on" - but
also if the "slabs" themselves were free of cracks, scratches and
scuffs. The consensus is for ultra-rare books, if there's a defect in
the "slab," you should send it back to CGC to get it re-slabbed at
extra cost. This is analogous to buying record albums in the 70s and
picking out the copy with the "best cellophane wrapper." -d.

I have noticed the slabs have an unfortunate tendency to get scratched
or scuffed. I will be starting a new business "slabbing slabs",
creating cases for your slabbed items that are guaranteed to keep your
slabs in pristine condition.

Hi,
I totally agree with Jim. I think that it's ridiculous to slab
photographs which I call a "plastic prison". Photograph collectors
want to admire the beauty of a photograph by seeing the patina, feel
of the paper, etc.
IMO it's only because of a dealer's desire to make more money out
of "authenticating" and slabbing photographs that this practice
exists. I am against it as an admirer of vintage photography.

Subject: [MOPO] Slabbed photos?
Any opinions on slabbed photos pro or con? I personally would
rather hold, feel, maybe even smell the paper to determine its
vintage. I see absolutely no advantage to slabbing at all. Thoughts?
Thanks
jim
